Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of smart wearable device technology, and in particular to a patellar strap with good protective properties. Background Technology

[0002] Sports enthusiasts or athletes typically wear protective assistive devices, such as knee braces, to protect their knee joints from sports injuries. Studies have shown that proper use of knee braces can significantly reduce the occurrence of sports injuries.

[0003] To avoid knee braces hindering movement, a narrow patellar strap worn on the patella has emerged in existing technology. Currently, airbags are generally used for protection. When in use, after the patellar strap is worn, the protective component (airbag) applies pressure to the outside of the patella to prevent or reduce knee joint injury and fatigue. However, the airbag in existing patellar straps is a single unit. Because the patella is located lower than the upper and lower sides, the single airbag cannot adhere well to the patella, resulting in poor protective effectiveness. Utility Model Content

Multiple airbag strips are located above the pressure-bearing part in the middle position. The diffuser part is an ellipse connected to the pressure-bearing part, and its width is greater than the width of the pressure-bearing part.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned patellar band with good protective properties, the pressure-bearing part has a groove recessed towards the fabric strip on the middle of the side near the base material strip, and the two sides of the groove are connected to the bottom surface of the pressure-bearing part by a rounded transition.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a patellar brace with good protection includes a strap 1. The strap 1 includes a base material strap 11 that adheres to the body and an outer fabric strap 12 located on the outside of the base material strap. The base material strap 11 and the outer fabric strap 12 are glued and fixed together. An airbag 2 is provided between the base material strap 11 and the outer fabric strap 12. The airbag 2 includes multiple spaced airbag strips, each including a main airbag strip 21 and two side airbag strips 22 located on both sides of the main airbag strip 21. After wearing, the main airbag strip 21 and the side airbag strips 22 are attached to the patella, and the width of the main airbag strip 21 is greater than the width of the side airbag strips 22. It should be noted that since this embodiment is a narrow knee brace, the number of airbag strips is 3, but it is not limited to this. The number and distribution of airbag strips can be set according to the protection position and the length of the knee brace. After inflation, the main airbag strip 21 is higher than the side airbag strip 22, creating different pressure distributions. The main airbag strip 21 corresponds to the middle position of the patella, while the side airbag strip 22 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the patella, corresponding to the shape of the patella, thus providing better protection for the patella.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the airbag 2 also includes an air intake airbag band 23, one end of which is provided with an air nozzle 24. The air nozzle 24 passes through the fabric band 12 and is connected to the air supply mechanism located in the control box. Furthermore, one end of each of the multiple airbag strips is connected to the air intake airbag band 23.

[0028] In this embodiment, the control box is an intelligent control box (not shown in the figure). The control box is fixed on the outside of the fabric strip 11 of the strap 1, and is generally located at the front of the knee for easy operation. The control box is equipped with an intelligent control system, an air supply mechanism, etc., which can intelligently control the inflation and deflation of the airbag and automatically adjust the pressure applied to the patella according to different movement states.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the strap 1 is installed using a Velcro structure, which is convenient and quick to install. One end of the fabric strap 12 is provided with a loop 4, and the other end is provided with Velcro 5. When wearing, the end of the strap 1 with the Velcro hook surface 51 passes around the loop 4 and is attached to the napped area 52 of the Velcro 5.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on the structure of Example 1, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the aforementioned patellar strap with good protective properties also includes a pad 3. The pad 3 is made of a flexible material, and in this embodiment, it is made of silicone. The pad 3 is attached to the inside of the base material 11, located between the airbag 2 and the base material 11. The pad 3 makes the patellar strap fit the human knee better, providing better coverage and wearing comfort.

[0032] To improve the stability of the pressure applied by airbag 2, such as Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the pad 3 includes a pressure-bearing portion 31 and diffuser portions 32 located at both ends of the pressure-bearing portion 31. When worn, the pressure-bearing portion 31 is located at the patella, serving as the main pressure-bearing area. Multiple airbag strips are positioned above the pressure-bearing portion 31 at its center. The diffuser portions 32 are elliptical in shape and connected to the pressure-bearing portion 31, with a width greater than the width of the pressure-bearing portion 31. This pad 3 diffuses the pressure applied by the airbags 2, ensuring a uniform pressure distribution within the same pressure area and further improving the protective effect.

[0033] In the above structure, the pressure-bearing part 31 has a groove recessed towards the fabric strip 12 in the middle of one side near the bottom material strip 11. The two sides of the groove are connected to the bottom surface of the pressure-bearing part 31 by a rounded transition. Multiple airbag strips are located within the groove range, so that the airbag 2 fits the knee patella position better when worn.

[0034] In addition, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown, the padding 3 has rounded corners on one side near the base material strip 11, while the other side is flat and attached to the airbag 2, improving wearing comfort.

[0035] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
